12. Dragged the process out till after the 4th. Preventing this bill from passing was never a possibility as the GOP

are cowards and were always going to give Trump this bill. But we could taken the 4th away from Trump. And they could have then turned around and crowed on TV "Look how dysfunctional they are. They set a deadline and couldn't keep it." Make passing the bill as bitter, painful and long a process as possible. Filibuster, gum up the works, draw out every possible procedure Take away Trump's photo op on the 4th. That's what I wanted them to do. Make Trump have a tantrum on TV because he couldn't get his photo op.

Small win, but the more Trump can be pushed off kilter the better. But Trump has wins now. Sure terrible wins that America will pay for in the future. But Trump doesn't care about the future. He just wants to be able to claim a win. And he will.

I didn't know a filibuster was possible in the House, but Jeffries did a pretty decent job of it. I give him a pass for at least making it harder and longer. But that's what I wanted them to do.

There is going to be NO positive meaningful legislation passed this session. So the democrats job this term is to make them pay for any bills they pass. When Obama was elected Moscow Mitch set a mandate to the GOP senators to make Obama's term a failed presidency. And they tried hard. What is Chuck's mandate for the democrats? Wag your fingers at them then throw your hands up and say "nothing we could do"?
